UNVEILING OF MY NEW MACHINE

Juki HZL-F600 Full Sized Computer Sewing and Quilting Machine

I did not even start out wanting a Juki. I have heard nothing but good things about juki's and when we left the Janome Shop in Texarkana, I just went on line and searched out what I was looking for.

The below picture is the reason I purchased this Juki besides the price tag.

See the number six? Just a tap of the button. My Pfaff you enter in two numbers and truly it was no big deal to do this. The Janome I was looking at you had to punch in, well...let's say I stopped counting when he hit the button more than four times. I just want to go from one to the other.

I have seven or eight machines. My favorites are the Janome 6600P (note, I don't do a lot of blanket stitch so I didn't notice that I would need to hit "mode" and "35" to get it.) and my Babylock Espire. I got both new. The Babylock cost more than your Juki, but the deal I got on the Janome was probably less than your Juki.

I collect, restore and use vintage and antique sewing machines. My newest machine is probably 15 years old and my oldest is more than 150 years old. When asked how many sewing machines I own, I answer "More than ten" and smile.
